This week the children in Primary 4 have been creating their own beach plates, using different techniques to create the sea and the sand. The children painted half the plate and crushed cornflakes to create the sand effects. The class then created their own umbrellas out of cocktail sticks and card and managed to create palm trees as well. They all looked fantastic well done everyone.
This week the children worked in groups of 3 and 4 to create digital posters online; linking this to their class topic Wildlife, Nature and habitat. The children split themselves into designers and researchers and created a digital poster and then shared this at the end of the lesson with their class. Great job Primary 4!
The children this week have started a new topic in maths and that is learning about mathematical language and simple equations. The children went outside to the playground and used the ground as their jotters and created the answers in their pairs. They successfully used language such as greater than, less than and equal to in their answers and completed the equations with their partner.Well done Primary 4!
This week the children have been creating their own Chameleon mosaic as part of their art lesson, linking this to their class topic. The children used a range of collage skills including creating the pattern on the chameleon, using proportion for the branches and applying watercolour to the background. The children really enjoyed creating their own Chameleon and did an excellent job, well done!
This week the children were learning about insects as part of their minibeasts topic. The children learned about all the insects and they had the opportunity to discuss in groups the characteristics of the insect and what the predators would be in the wild. The children managed to draw the insects and were able to write down all the interesting facts they found out about them. Well done Primary 4!
The children in Primary 4 have been continuing working on Time this week with a focus on analogue. The children were able to draw their own clocks and could transfer a digital clock time and showcase this on an analogue clock. The class are doing very well with time and they are beginning to make links between their fraction work and their time tasks. Well done Primary 4!
Primary 4 have been working extremely hard again this week in class and on Wednesday afternoon I gave them a well deserved fun afternoon after finishing 7th in the East Ayrshire Sumdog contest. The children enjoyed playing a class quiz, had the games box out and enjoyed listening to some music. Can I just take this opportunity to thank everyone for working so hard this term.
I would just like to thank everyone for all their hard work in the East Ayrshire Sumdog contest. 84 classes entered the contest and many having larger classes than ours however, this did not stop the determination of our Primary 4 class and we finished in an amazing 7th place. This is just a quick message to say I am very proud of you all and again thank you for all the hard work in the contest! I hope you all have an amazing spring holiday with your families!
The children designed Spring baskets with eggs inside of them as part of their Spring art display. The children learned how to design the basket and incorporated their own designs and patterns on the eggs. They had lots of fun doing this and they all look great! Eggsellent job Primary 4.
The children in Primary 4 have been continuing their work on Scotland this week and as part of their art lesson, they started to create their own Scotland flags using crepe paper. The class were learning about collage this week and we watched clips from Art Attack to show how collage can take different forms not just paper, the children applied this knowledge as they begin to create their own designs. Well done Primary 4, I am sure many of the adults at home will remember Art Attack from their youths!
On Monday the children created their own travel brochure using the information they have learned about Scotland so far. The children used the class laptops to research more information for their brochures and they stood up in front of their peers to explain the beautiful places to visit in our amazing country! Well done Primary 4!
